NOT Honda related - Moto Guzzi question...

(1/5) > >>

Mikep328:
HI all, I am looking at a companion for my 400F and am interested in a Moto Guzzi V7.  Does anyone here have experience with the V7?  I realize this is not Honda related but I'd rather ask folks I "know" than watch any more of the endless reviews on line extolling its "character."  I have never ridden one and many of the things lauded as "character" seem to me to be "annoying."  Anyone here with experience?

I can understand if a moderator removes this as not Honda related...

Mind you don't end up with something like these to find homes for!   ;) ;D

There are quite a few Guzzis in my local classic bike club, including V7s.
The owners swear by them, a real brand loyalty. They seem heavy and a bit clunky compared to modern bikes but they must have something that owners love.

Mikep328:
Thanks!   "heavy and clunky" would make them an absolute "NO WAY!" for me.  I can't think of any phrases that would make a motorcycle less appealing!

taysidedragon:
I would say the same about a BMW boxer and I see you have 2 of those! 🤣 Don't listen to me, go and have a test ride on one. That's the only way to find out if it's for you.
